Happy Birthday

4th of july

Location: Massachusetts Avenue Bridge, Cambridge, MA
Distance: 2.6 miles, 4.2 km
Transportation: Foot

Nikon D70, 18-70mm at ISO 400, 1/8 sec, f4.5, handheld (only crazy people try to set up tripods on the Mass Ave bridge)

Last night's 4th of July fireworks display in Boston. Yes, the people's heads are intentional. The major problem last night was that the number of people pressed onto the bridge made it extremely difficult to get a clear shot that included the fireworks, river and skyline. Rather than pushing myself to the edge of the bridge and risking a tumble into the Charles, I decided to frame the picture with the crowd backlit by the fireworks.
